Simplex Pipeline Basket Strainers

Keckley simplex pipeline basket strainers are used in piping applications where a greater screen area to
pipe area ratio is required. By providing a greater screen area than a
Y-strainer, you are optimizing the total open area and minimizing potential pressure
loss through the basket. Simplex strainers are used to protect pipelines, valves, and spray nozzles from water flow problems. They reduce the necessity for frequent cleaning and provides
a cost and time saving benefit with less downtime.

Unlike the ability of a
Y-strainer to “blow” the debris through the drain connection, a basket strainer
requires the removal of the basket for cleaning. Therefore production must stop
for cleaning the basket. Read more.

Most Keckley simplex strainers are offered in both domestic and foreign castings with a wide
variety of straining options for almost any application. Keckley does offer
basket strainers that meet the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act” and
“Buy American Act”. Keckley also provides basket strainers that meet or exceed
military specifications: WW-S-2739: TYPE 1 and WW-S-2739: TYPE 2.
